Deposition To Be Given

William Davis, the alleged assault victim in jail for failing to make court appearances, will give a deposition today, even though it`s not certain his testimony will be allowed in court.

Davis told police he was held at gunpoint by community newspaper publisher Levi Henry on March 6. Broward Circuit Judge Lawrence Korda ruled Friday that Davis would not be allowed to testify against Henry because he had failed to make court appointments.

In response, Assistant State Attorney Peter Wilson secured a judicial order. Davis was jailed Monday to compel him to testify.

Henry, 52, publisher of the biweekly West Side Gazette in Fort Lauderdale, is accused of pointing a shotgun at Davis to ask him about some burglaries that had occurred at Henry`s newspaper office.
